@thedoors

Thanks so much. your post helped me completely to get rid of the issue.

I was struggling to resolve this for last 4 days after my office shifts and came across different solutions, but none of them worked.

THANKS A LOT AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posting the briefing of the issue and solution below for others to save the time:-

Issue:-

-  Used Google App engine for hosting my website

-  Warning message "File is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous"  appears in chrome browser when user download the windows exe file(Application)

- Exe file was the outcome of Inno set up installer

Solution:-

- Paste below lines in your app.yaml file (configuration file in Google App Engine, might work for other frameworks as well)

========================================

upload:static/(.*\.(doc|exe|ppt|rtf|xls))

========================================

- Go through following link for other mime types

Root Cause:-

- exe mime type was not included in configuration file

Result:-

- No more download warnings now in chrome browser.

Bottom line:-

Thanks to thedoors
